What Is Mortgage Protection With Critical Illness Cover?

Mortgage protection insurance pays your mortgage if you get sick. It also pays in the event of your death or disability.

Rates vary company to company, but all policies will be a type of life insurance, as this is insuring your life.

How Much Does Mortgage Protection Pay With Critical Illness Cover?

How much mortgage protection will pay if you are ever diagnosed with a critical illness depends on the company and type of illness.

However, below is a general rule of thumb for most companies.

Chronic Illness

A chronic illness is when you cannot perform normal activities of daily living or have a cognitive impairment.

If you are diagnosed with this, you can use up to 25% of the total face amount every year while still living to help pay for mortgage payments.

Critical Illness

A critical illness is when you are diagnosed with severe cancer, heart attack, stroke, alzheimer’s, renal failure, organ failure, or ALS.

If you are diagnosed with one of these conditions after the police is in force, you can accelerate up to 95% of the face amount at the time of diagnosis, with a maximum of $500,000.

Terminal Illness

A terminal illness is a non-correctable illness where death is expected in less than 12 months.

If you are diagnosed with this condition you can accelerate up to 95% of the face amount at the time of diagnosis, with a maximum of $500,000.

All of these critical illness covers are free of charge with a mortgage protection policy to help pay for mortgage payments while still living or medical expenses if need be so the family can stay in or keep the home.

Any money you take out for an illness will reduce the face amount/death benefit by that amount.
